          <p>Academics have little influence as to whether a person gets a full
            PhD scholarship: it is mostly based on GPA and publication record and
            is done centrally for the entire University.</p>

          <h3 style="margin-top: 32px;">Before You Email Me</h3>

          <p>It would be useful for me to know more about your background:</p>

          <ol style="line-height: 2;">
            <li>What relevant courses have you completed (e.g. software verification,
              type systems, compiler design, program analysis, programming languages,
              or mathematics) and can you demonstrate a strong grade (e.g. A+ or HD)
              in those courses? Please include a transcript.</li>
            <li>Have you published any papers before or wrote any research
              theses (including at undergraduate level)?</li>
            <li>What relevant industrial experience do you have, especially when
              it comes with novel programming languages and what is your interest
              in the area?</li>
          </ol>

          <p><strong>Please structure your email to clearly address each of the three points above. Emails that do not address all three points will be filed away without a response.</strong></p>

          <p>You can see my interests by looking at my <a href="./publications.html">publications</a>.</p>

          <h3 style="margin-top: 32px;">Useful Resources</h3>

          <p>There is much useful advice online, including:</p>
